Cognition Influencing Auditory Perception in SLD Children: Revisiting the Models of Auditory Processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
The study assessed the auditory processing abilities and the cognitive skills in children with specific learning disability. It investigates the top-down or bottom-up influence on auditory processing. Using a test battery approach, the association between cognitive skills (verbal working memory and attention) and auditory processing abilities (auditory closure, binaural integration and temporal processing skills) has been measured. The results revealed that cognitive processes significantly affect the bottom-up auditory perception. The effect of cognition was more evident in speech processing than non-speech signal processing. These findings may be useful in designing appropriate therapeutic protocol for children with specific learning disability.

متن کاملComparison of Auditory Perception in Cochlear Implanted Children with and without Additional Disabilities
Background: The number of children with cochlear implants who have other difficulties such as attention deficiency and cerebral palsy has increased dramatically. Despite the need for information on the results of cochlear implantation in this group, the available literature is extremely limited. We, therefore, sought to compare the levels of auditory perception in children with cochlear implant...

Introduction: Auditory processing disorder (APD) is a type of abnormal perceptual processing of auditory information within the central auditory nervous system that could be influenced by cognitive factors, such as attention. Attention is one of most important cognitive functions in the development of learning in children, so it is important to recognize and evaluate a variety of attention defi...

Introduction: Auditory temporal resolution and auditory temporal ordering are two major components of the auditory temporal processing abilities that contribute to speech perception and language development. Auditory temporal resolution and auditory temporal ordering can be evaluated by gap-in-noise (GIN) and pitch-pattern-sequence (PPS) tests, respectively. In this survey, the effect of biling...
